USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[Rupes]

Hopefully lotus and/or dealers will be transparent about the process.

New here?

Hey everybody, go to the "post your spec thread" and re-post / post your spec. I want to know what everyone is getting. I feel like I know everyone here. Let's get this party started.

Or its kind of like airline flight pricing, can depend on day to day, hour to hour etc LOL

They're going to use Wendy's dynamic daily pricing model.

Spec page shows $104,500 Configuration page shows $105,400
Come on Lotus.

Should use a poll.

 

[Still gonna send it...]

New here?

Yeah.

We can hope, right??

Should use a poll.

I was thinking the same thing. You wanna make it?

I think only the OP or a mod can. @VL3X is it possible to do a poll in that thread that has multiple fields? Color: pick one; Black pack: pick one, etc etc

 

[dgrace]

For some reason it seems that only certain sub-forums support polls; I'm not sure why.

Why am I not surprised…

Is there any insight or inside news on the FE 1.0 cars destined for CARB states? NJ early order here with vin 0473 and wondering how to know if it's stateside yet or still yet to set sail. What is best way to track this? I sure wish Lotus had order trackers like so many other manufacturers, but given their attention to comms, that's certainly a reach! Any info appreciated...

There’s no way to currently know, dealers should have a weekly or monthly update of vin numbers and where they are with a status but they don’t seem to communicate this.

Yeah, and for the frustration they've faced financially with all the delays, and the bombardment of inquiries, I don't wanna ask about stuff they can't control. Thanks for the reply.

Go to https://www.importinfo.com

Enter the VIN in Commodity field and submit the search form. If the car has arrived in the US, you will see it listed towards the bottom of the screen.

Sadly, no hits... but thank you for this.

I have had a VIN since early December... shows up on the NHSTA site and pulls up for my insurance quote as a valid VIN, but doesn't show up on the Import site or via Google search. Dealer claimed it's at Baltimore but I have my doubts and feel it's in some lot in the UK?

I’ve had a vin for a bunch of weeks. mine is also not showing up on this import website. My dealer claimed the car was in the UK - carb state.

The calm before the storm!

I'm getting excited for the week. I have held back any expectations given the history but I think in the next two weeks we're finally going to have some Emiras on the US roads.
